I happened upon this show yesterday and was very encouraged by the new talent in the production. I originally binged the show and after watching it, decided it was okay, in terms of violence and language for my 8 year old (who doesn’t understand Hindi- but can follow the subtitles), to take a look. He was transfixed by the plot. He was quite stunned at the end of the season- as was I as the plot moves very fast. On reflection- much more development (as raised by other reviewers) ‘could’ occur if the shows were a full hour. Despite this wider points of the plot enabled us to have a range of discussions around pressure, choices and consequences. The short nature of each episode, therefore allows it to be a show for kids and parents to watch together - which unfortunately can not be said for many other Netflix shows. Our favourites were the scenes with the Deity, and the quirkiness of the struggling Headmistress,
